(I know the song is about motorcyle and the car is an auto, but this goes through my head)

Svending needed (back to black) works wonders

What seems to be a common problem, both fog lights are chipped. Given Hondas extreme price ($ 200 a side) , and that civic ones fit right in are there any decent aftermarket civic foglights ?

Cool! I like  the CR-Z, and for as much as people complained about it, it sure seemed close to what my CRX DX was. It wasn't that fast but it was fun in the corners.

Interesting car, I drove one when considering a replacement for my wife’s ‘’02 Si. I thought it was interesting but it didn’t win with her even though it was similar to her ‘91 CRX DX. She ended up replacing the ‘02 with a ‘16 Civic Coupe with the optional wing.

Ps, I expect it would be a comfortable ca r to process lots of miles at great economy while having the same acceleration as a ‘91 CRX .... . That was my impression

It needs an alignment, possible new tie rods so me tlc. The bit I have driven, the short wheelbase makes it turn on a dime.

Stick? And what year/model?

Amazingly, her ‘16 LX is getting 42 + mpg with a 2 liter CVT. I attribute a lot of this to the fact that with the CVT  it cruises at 1500 rpm. However that is still impressive considering her ‘02 with the same engine never got better than 33 mpg on the same commutes...

I have enough projects before I replace the front half of the car.

Yep the nail scratches around door handles, they are a nuisance.

They come out easily enough.

Exterior plastics always let the car down, but you’ve got that covered.

I don’t think the car had ever been waxed. First coat was like rubbing off tar.

Give her a really good wash and clay and a two or three coats of wax and she’ll be great.

Yep, her car spends 80% of it’s time cruising at 1500 rpm.

Absolutely love it congrats! I had to settle for a 25 year old shitbox this time around and my wife has dibs on the next nice car but I really do want to pick one of these up someday, my very first car was a 1990 crx si and I've always loved the styling of these, I know they're not the fastest or even that efficient but you can always supercharge it, and I'm old enough now that I just don't care as much about performance. I don't usually like silver cars either but it's actually one of my favorite colors on those too, it just works for me.
